Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Imperial Meridian Place Apartment honestly feels less like checking into a hotel and more like settling into a well-appointed London flat that just happens to have professional housekeeping. The building sits right in the heart of Canary Wharf’s quieter residential side, and you know what? That’s actually perfect — you get all the energy of London’s financial district without the constant buzz of suits rushing to meetings.
The Apartment Experience
Each apartment here is properly spacious, which is saying something in London. The kitchen isn’t just for show either — I mean, it’s got everything you’d actually use if you were staying for more than a weekend. The living areas feel lived-in rather than sterile, with big windows that flood the space with light during the day. What struck me most was how quiet it gets at night, despite being so close to the action.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s the thing about Tower Hamlets — people either love it or don’t quite get it, but this spot really works. You’re a short walk to Canary Wharf station, which connects you to pretty much everywhere via the Jubilee line or DLR. The Thames Path runs right nearby, perfect for those early morning walks when jet lag has you up at dawn anyway. Greenwich is just across the water, and honestly, that ferry ride never gets old.
What Makes It Work
This four-star property gets the balance right between hotel service and apartment independence. There’s parking available (which, let’s be real, is worth mentioning in London), and the staff actually remembers your name after the first day. The whole setup works particularly well if you’re staying for business — plenty of space to spread out your laptop, decent WiFi, and you can grab groceries from the Waitrose down the street instead of eating every meal out.
Why Guests Love It
Look, it’s not trying to be the flashiest place in town, but that’s sort of the point. You get proper space, a great location that locals actually live in, and the kind of service that doesn’t hover but shows up when you need it. The 8.3 rating makes sense — it’s the kind of place where everything just works without any fuss, and you find yourself already planning your next stay before you’ve even checked out.

"Superb"
Beautiful location. Balcony overlooked a wonderful view.

"Very convenient and comfortable for Canary Wharf area"
The location was handy, and there is a choice of Italian or Indian restaurant in a mere stone's throw. Overall there was a homely feeling, which could have just been improved a bit. Amazing views to the lights of docklands at night - really quite a vista from the lounge!
What could be improved: The apartment was hard to find - had to call the host. Then I had to go to a shop to get the key. The lighting in the lounge could be better; a bit harsh. I was really surprised there were no basics - tea, coffee, sugar, milk.

"Very good"
The apartment is big and the location is perfect.
Comfortable beds. Kitchen well equipped.
Overall a great place to stay.
What could be improved: There are some issues already brought to attention from previous guests that really need to be fixed: shower head and strange and wobbly floor in one of the bathrooms, the window that goes to the balcony in the lounge need to be fixed… it’s just a small effort that will make a huge difference and give you a 10!

"Over all, good"
- Convenient transportation
- Safe and beautiful surroundings
- Reasonable price compared to central London
- Comfortable bed
Overall, the accommodation was in good condition
What could be improved: - The process to retrieve the key was quiet inconvenient, and the instruction video link provided did not work
- Mold found in the shower booth corner and on the showerhead holder
Despite these downsides, I would still consider staying here again if traveling with a companion next time.

"Great price for money, and awesome stay"
The communication from all the staff was incredible fast and they also were very kind in all aspects, the location is fantastic as you are right next to the Thames river and within a very close distance from canary Wharf centre where you can find anything you pretty much want.
The rooms were clean, very spacious, fully equipped kitchen in case you would like to cook something, there is a tv on the living room as well in case you don't feel like going out that day.
Overall, it was a great experience staying here. I totally recommend it.
What could be improved: We just had one issue with the main bathroom floor, which kind of sinks as if it were full of water. It would have been nice to have a bath plug to use th bath. However, we did not ask for one, so maybe it is available, and we just did not see it!
It's still a great place to stay, leaving that aside

"Quiet area of Canary Wharf, easy access to transport, cafes and supermarkets."
Spacious and quiet.

"Relative good, but overpriced"
Great location – close to DLR, and the Underground is about a 15-minute walk away, along pathways with beautiful views of the skyscrapers.
Nice view from the balcony.
Convenient check-in outside of regular hours.
Two toilets with shower.
What could be improved: Even though the apartment is relatively new, it definitely needs some repairs. There are scratches and marks pretty much everywhere – especially in the bathroom, which is in rough shape. The bathroom floor is honestly a disaster.
Also, check-out instructions were really confusing – we got totally different messages from different staff. One person told us to drop the key at Vape Lagoon, but didn’t give us the code, which made for an awkward moment inside the vape shop.
Overall, I think the price is too high for what you get.

"Very good"
The apartment’s views were spectacular, just in the middle of Canary Wharf with a lot of restaurants around the area and the DLR station at just 6/7 minutes walk away.
What could be improved: There was no basics like for example oil or kitchen tissues, there was a dishwasher but no dishwasher soap, a loundry machine but no detergent. Only salt and sugar left in the kitchen which is a shame because the apartment would be worth 5 stars if they would think about those things.

"Practical, well positioned, albeit not luxurious."
Location close to Canary Wharf. The apartment was clean. Great view, safe area, well connected. Quiet at night.
Kitchen fully equipped, albeit not new.
What could be improved: I could not make one of the radiators work. The weather was hot for May fortunately.
The bathroom light did not work, which made it practically unusable. Fortunately there were two bathrooms.
Communication via Booking.com - is Whatsapp a possibility?
